Popular.

"HeadS!"
THAT Is what's on their minds; their heads
Therein the secret sorrow lies. You see, It
happened this way-but guess I'd better not. i"
And he hauled himself up short on the brink OF a
secret. He was a ladies' barber, and as he spoke
he sat on the arm OF an easy chair twirling pair
OF scis-No; they weren't scissors. They were a
curious continuance. They were hinged together
Ike scissors and had such handles but the blades
were iron bars with half nattened knobs at the
ends. Every now and then he took a loose curl
that hung like spiral spring from the wig OF
dummy between the prongs Of the instrument
and pressed it In place.
at would never do, you see - he continued as he
settled lsiS head on one side in admiration OF the
wig. at wouldn't do 10 divulge the secrets i'm

and he playfully patted the wax cheek OF the dunn
my Then he turned to The STAR man and, put
ting MS curlihg-tonyS al the side OF his nose,

OF wigs on account OF this change OF fashion, and
he turned again 10 address the reporter.
There were some pretty SUITS OF hair spoiled by
that snort nair craze. Some refused ever to grow
long again, some grew out Stin and straight and
some lost all OF It's natural color Soft blonde hail
came out Stlner and darker. Some did not suffer
from the fashion, but many did Young Ladies
who had soft curly hair OF rich natural color wert
struck with the shOrt-hair craze And now-well
they are aWfully sorry. All the curl Is gone The
sothess gone too, and so has the rich color The
most common result has been the entire loss OF thu
natural tendency TO curl. Constant cutting ha,
made the hair straight. Sometimes they hay;
their own natural hair that was cut OF made oyeI
